Baldock Town Letchworth will play Ridgeons League Premier Division outfit Wivenhoe Town in the First Qualifying Round of the coming season’s FA Vase.
The tie will be played on Saturday 5th September 2009 at The County Ground and will be the Club’s first FA Vase tie since reforming in 2003.
The “old” Baldock Town last appeared in the FA Vase back in 1988 when they were beaten 2-0 in the Second Round by Sudbury Town.
The prize for the victors will be a home tie with United Counties League Potton United in the Second Qualifying Round on Saturday 19th September 2009.
Although it will be a big ask, if the Club can manage to see off both Wivenhoe Town and Potton United they will be at home again in the First Round Proper against either Tring Athletic of the South Midlands League Premier Division or Stansted of the Essex Senior League.
Fellow Herts Senior County League side Codicote received a bye through the First Qualifying Round, but face a tricky trip to Biggleswade United in the next round.
